Thanks! It’s nice to have something to look back on. Our Shark Bay video premiere’s tonight at 5pm. We think it’s a great video show casing the region. Hope you can join us 😁
How exciting, the start of the adventure. Good not to pre-book things. Go with the flow. Boys need to have time out of the car too. Great job so far. Enjoy!! From Geelong Victoria.
Thanks a lot for your feedback Graham. We think not booking is the way to go, but they both have their pros and cons. Our Shark Bay episode premieres tomorrow at 5pm WST. Feel free to join us, we think it’s a good one 😉
Thanks very much for your comment, we really appreciate the feedback and it’s nice to know that people are enjoying it. Our Shark Bay episode will be released on Friday and the scenery there was absolutely breathtaking.
I hope it's the start of an awesome adventure and i imagine the memories you will make will be priceless and making videos of it will make it so much easier to remember them specially with the kids being so young. My only concern is the RAM 1500 as they have a very limited payload rating, with the towball weight, bull bar and just the family you will be on or extremely close to your payload limit, i hope you have a GVM upgrade on that rig so you are legal and for insurance reasons specially as it is now your tow rig for the trip of a lifetime. Can't wait for more content and more beers around the fire. Cheers.
Thanks Damien, we have the same concerns about weight and to be honest, we don’t understand how a lot of people travel legally with the setups they have. We have had our setup weighed professionally… twice. The first time we were over weight in both the van and car. We removed a heap of gear and then got re-weighed and we are now under on both. We have upgraded the suspension in the vehicle including air bags, but it’s not a GVM upgrade. We found it difficult to find an upgrade for the DT. The solution we did find, did not increase the axle loads and we would have had to get a weight distribution hitch which would introduce other complications. Put it this way, it’s something we are very aware of and are keeping a close eye on. Hope you enjoy our future content. Shark Bay is out on Friday 😁
@@GrabLifeByTheGourlays Really appreciate the support, we’ve met some great people on the road and they have kids about the same age which is a bonus! Kids occupy themselves and we can sit back and relax. So glad we took the leap!
Great to have you on board Gary. The R7 looks like a good camera. Should be able to get some good footage. We wanted a full frame rather than a crop, hence the R6. Let us know how you find the camera 😁
Hi Adam, we use the Milenco Aero 4. They do the job, had one of the nobs come loose once so far I think, but we saw this before it caused any issues. There is a little bit of vibration that goes through them causing them to shake more than your fixed mirrors, but not to the point that makes them unusable. The ram is quite wide so we could almost get away with just using the standard mirrors, legally though we are required to have the towing mirrors.
Ahoy me hearties! 🥰🥰🥰
😂 He’s a cutie! ❤ Butter wouldn’t melt!

What a big family adventure you are all having touring round Australia. Blessings to you all, looks so much fun on the farm
Thank you for your kind words. It truly is an adventure! The farm stay was great, looking forward to finding other places like that one.
Good luck, sounds like it will be a great adventure

How bloody exciting guys! We’re yet to head off on ours! Can’t wait, maybe we’ll see you out there one day!🤙🏽
Thanks so much! You’ll absolutely love it, hope to see you out there! We’ve met heaps of other families so far 👌
@@AussieFamilyLiving that’ll be one of the best things, making mates on the road! That’s why we love travelling

Safe travels guys, very envious of you all. Great video quality as well and a great edit. What is the camera you are using out of curiosity ?
Thanks for your feedback Gary. We shoot with a Canon R6 and a Mavic Air. We also have a GoPro but haven’t used a lot of that footage yet.
@@AussieFamilyLiving cheers mate. I recently got myself the R7 but haven't done any video as yet. Safe travels mate, now following your journey.

@@AussieFamilyLiving will do.
What mirror extensions are you using ? Are they performing okay ?
